Between now and next month is the time to get ready for the winter months up here in Maple Valley. It's funny how it can be snowing up here sometimes and sunny down by the airport. Oh well, none the less it is time to winterize everything here. That means all of the patio furniture gets stored or put away, plant the Hyacinths, Daffodils and Tulips. All of which was done yesterday. Also I straightened out the pantry and the shelves in the garage in order to get them stocked with soups and such for the winter.
There was quite a bit of food that I was getting ready to take down to the food bank but when Mimi came home all excited the other day and told me about the food drive that the school is having, I thought that we would take the food to school instead. She said that they are trying to beat out Ms. Haas class which is next door. So when Mimi walked in with her wagon full of goodies, you should have seen all of the kids faces light up. It was like Christmas in Mimi's class. Mimi was sooooooo excited about counting the items she brought and tallying the score. She brought a total of 40 items which brought the count up to 137, then someone else would bring stuff then more kids brought their canned goods. I lost count after 140. I'll have to ask her the complete count when she gets home from school this afternoon. Pictured with her here is Rachel.
